These rewrites are fantastic for performance of build tools, but add complexity and churn when the base language, usually Javascript or Typescript, was already memory safe anyways. I'm hesitant to depend on most of this newer tooling for a while when existing Javascript-based alternatives exist.
- margorczynski 3y agoNot having proper static typing (and weak typing on top of that) in any medium-large project I think adds much more problems and complexity. JS is simply a bad language design-wise with TS being an improvement but still having the original sins of JS in it.
- solatic 3y agoPerformance is key. The performance differential of biome compared to prettier or eslint, for any monorepo of decent size, is a few orders of magnitude, for tools that should ideally be run on every file save.
